Film classification

As we have finished producing our two minute opening, we have done some research into the rating it would be issued, if it was made into a feature length film. Using the BBFC website, we decided on the most appropriate rating for our film.




















Our film would not be a '12A' because...

Our film has quite a dark tone, and it touches upon some unsettling themes including drug abuse, murder/ strong violence.
Though it was not used in our opening, strong language may occur throughout our film, because although our protagonist is professional, the film shows her status declining.
Violent behaviour may be exhibited by our protagonist, as a result of her drug abuse/ side effects.
Inevitably, dangerous behaviour and drug misuse will be exhibited in our film as it ties in with out plot. Although we are not glamorizing or endorsing these behaviours, they would definitely be a persistent theme.

We have decided to rate our film '15'...

BBFC features of a '15' rating.
The drugs featured in our film are more likely to be prescribed, and are therefore less accessible to the audience. Our film does not endorse drug use, and rather, portrays the unappealing side effects.








Some of our film inspiration has also helped us decide what certificate to give our film, as they include similar themes...
